Bezant Resources PLC (AIM:BZT) has detailed what it describes as a very promising target at the high-grade Kanye manganese project in Botswana.
The company, in a statement, told investors that recently completed geological mapping indicates that the target horizon hosting high-grade manganese may extend continuously for at least 4 kilometres, between the Loltware and Moshaneng prospects.
A programme of follow-up soil sampling and trenching is planned to start in the coming week, to test the continuity of the manganese target.
“Along with the discovery of extensions to the mineralised zone in the Moshaneng Borrow Pit, this represents a very promising target for Bezant within the same geological horizon as Giyani Metals K-Hill project,” said executive chairman Colin Bird.
“We are now moving forward to a new phase of sampling and trenching to confirm continuity of the zone, with follow-up drill planning in preparation."
A preliminary plan has been prepared for drill testing, in the vicinity of the Moshaneng Borrow pit, and will be finalised based on results of the soil and trenching programme.
